Analysis

A CAR-registered improved forest management project in Virginia with VVB-confirmed additionality, a 16.7% buffer pool, and a quantified 20% leakage deduction. The project-specific baseline and a notable discrepancy between two verification reports (34,819 vs 17,044 tCO₂e) introduce moderate over-crediting risk. Documentation is reasonably complete across 19 sources, though monitoring coverage is limited to a single year within a 100-year crediting period.
